Linked Cohort - Funnel View with Patient Counts

Linked Cohort Interface

The Linked Cohort interface displays your cohort name at the top (e.g., "Cohort-Example-03") along with a Save Funnel button to save your current configuration. The tabbed navigation provides access to different analytical views.

Navigation Tabs

The navigation bar provides access to the following views:

  • Linked Cohort: View patient counts from multiple data sources in the Funnel view (current tab)
  • Patient Demographics: Analyze patient demographic information
  • Line Of Therapies: Review treatment line information
  • SOW: Access Statement of Work reports

The Funnel View

The Funnel section displays patient counts from four data sources, each shown as a colored card:

  • Closed Claims (Ibex): Patient count from closed insurance claims data (shown in light purple)
  • Open Claims: Patient count from open insurance claims data (shown in light yellow)
  • EMR (Lion): Patient count from Electronic Medical Records (shown in light green)
  • Labs (Lynx): Patient count from laboratory data providers (shown in light grey)

Below the data source cards, the Total Distinct Patients count is displayed with a link to the cohort name, showing the combined unique patient population across all linked data sources.

Merging Cohorts and Notes

The "+ Merge with another cohort or notes" button allows you to combine this linked cohort with additional cohorts or clinical notes:

  • Combine patient populations from multiple cohorts
  • Integrate clinical notes data with cohort data
  • Create comprehensive patient datasets for analysis

Key Features

  • Multi-Source Data Integration: View patient data from Claims, EMR, and Labs in one place
  • Patient Count Visualization: Color-coded cards show counts from each data source
  • Total Distinct Patients: Automatically calculated unique patient count across all sources
  • Save Funnel: Save your current funnel configuration for future reference
  • Cohort Merging: Combine cohorts and notes to create comprehensive datasets

How to Use Linked Cohorts

  1. Navigate to the Cohort Analytics section and select a cohort
  2. Click on the "Linked Cohort" tab in the navigation bar
  3. Review the Funnel view to see patient counts from each data source
  4. Check the Total Distinct Patients count to understand the combined patient population
  5. Click "Save Funnel" to save your current configuration
  6. Use "+ Merge with another cohort or notes" to combine with additional data
  7. Navigate to other tabs (Patient Demographics, Line Of Therapies, SOW) for additional analysis

Understanding the Data Sources

The Funnel view displays patient counts from various data providers:

  • Closed Claims (Ibex): Insurance claims that have been processed and closed
  • Open Claims: Insurance claims that are still being processed
  • EMR (Lion): Electronic Medical Records from the Lion provider
  • Labs (Lynx): Laboratory data from the Lynx provider

The system automatically deduplicates patients across all sources to calculate the total distinct patient count, ensuring accurate population size calculations.

Best Practices

  • Review patient counts from each data source to understand data coverage
  • Use the Total Distinct Patients count to understand the true population size
  • Save your funnel configuration before making changes
  • Use the merge functionality to combine related cohorts for comprehensive analysis
  • Explore different navigation tabs for various analytical perspectives
